[quote=lloyditos;2041924467]I am in first place by 4 games in the central with Detroit. Hitting looks great, pitching is middle of the road. So I traded SP Rick Porcello, SS rookie Chris Nelson (whom I received from Colorado in a trade earier this year), and AAA prospect SP Andy Oliver for Zack Grinke and Yunieski Bettencort.

Now my rotation is Verlander (not playing too well actually), Scherzer (Cy Young Candidate), Grinke, Jhoulys Chacin (acquired also from Colorado earlier and a great addition), and Armando Galarraga.

As a Tiger Fan, and also in my Tiger Franchise, definately gave up a lot, but Greinke is a good pitcher, Porcello is a good pitcher for me and only 22 years old, and Oliver is so-so for me AAA, but it would be a tough call, b/c you are giving up 2 young top of the rotation guys, but hope it works out for you.
